'Nannygate' report is handed to MPs

THE report into the "nannygate" allegations against Tory frontbencher Caroline Spelman was finally delivered to MPs today.

Parliamentary Standards Commissioner John Lyon handed over the results of his nine-month inquiry into claims the shadow communities secretary spent Commons allowances on a nanny. The Standards and Privileges Committee decided to give MPs more time to assess the report before publishing its own final verdict, a week on Thursday.
